Pros
IC's are really the backbone of this company Work life balance is actually stellar
Cons
- Évaluation system isn't based on merit as much as they want to say it is; it's based on how good you are at selling your work, and how good you look doing busy work - Pay discrepancies are utterly atrocious - some leads have employees making more than they are - Unequal gender distribution, which was aggravated after the last layoffs - Purchasing studios and repeated words of "we're financially fine" yet "we don't have the budget to raise you" and "we didn't meet our financial budget/targets in one area but we did in another area" are all misdirections - most senior leadership are out of touch with the world today - Released many games in the last 2 years, and none of them worked out well because "we didn't do the right research" - Yt women talking about DEI efforts with crocodile tears - company ignores many concerns from experienced employees until ishh hits the fan, then it's a scramble to fix the problems - most VP's have not been people managers in these past few years, and their lack of emotional awareness & maturity clearly shows - hr will tell your boss everything you said in a conversation with them - many departments don't share learnings or best practices with each other which means you'll see the same mistakes happen repeatedly throughout your tenure - short minded business decisions for short term gains are ruining this company - many people managers don't know how to manage expectations upwards or downwards well, which defeats the "no crunch/great work life balance" mentality
